Tropical South America 15s 70w

Creative Rationale

Over the high Andes of southern Peru, where the dramatic temperature anomaly of 18K above the zonal mean creates an atmosphere of intense thermal disruption, the moderate pressure gradient and gentle northerly winds suggest a landscape caught between stillness and transformation. The 58% humidity allows glimpses of deeper atmospheric layers, while the absence of precipitation speaks to a moment of suspended anticipation—perfect conditions for exploring Tannahill's palimpsest approach where geological time meets painterly process. The substantial temperature anomaly drives chaotic marks breaking through structured layers, while the moderate humidity ensures that archaeological depths of previous "paintings" remain visible, creating that characteristic tension between knowing and not-knowing that defines her work.
